Home care
services, which are organized intensively and successfully in developed
countries, have been on the agenda of our country for a while. Although our
national values require looking at our adults and our patients, the busy work
time sometimes causes us to have to stay away from this beautiful work. As
such, home care became a necessity. Therefore, The Regulation on Home Care
Services, published in 2005, is an effort of the Ministry of Health to keep the
issue in a legal and specific way.

Our ministry has
also started to provide home health services. Quickly, home health services
units were opened all over the country and the teams started to serve
successfully.

In April, our
associations organized the 1st International Home Health Services Congress with
the support of our Ministry of Health. Although it was the first, there was a
very nice congress in which 1600 people attended, and all sessions were full.

2nd International Home Health Services Congress was held on 14-18 March 2012 in Antalya. The Ministry of Health, universities, World Health Organization, relevant public institutions and organizations, private sector organizations will be contacted, and a rich content was created.

We are expecting all your contributions, suggestions and criticisms about the subject and we are pleased to invite you to the 3rd International Home Health Congress.

The purpose of the congress is to explain the importance and effectiveness of medical social services to the patients, to determine how much they need medical social services and to solve their problems with the light of scientific studies and application examples and also to share the experiences from foreign countries about same issues, so to apply the knowledge and experiences of all relevant people, institutions and organizations for the establishment of the medical social service policy of our country.

That
organization was planned by the Association of Healthy Generations and the
Ministry of Health, Ministry of Family and Social Policies, Universities,
AÇSAP, SHÇEK, Administration for Disabled People, General Directorate on the
Status of Women, Foundation for Social Assistance and Solidarity, Family
Research Institution, United Nations, SSI and similar institutions were
cooperated with our organization.

We are waiting
for the cooperation and participation of academicians, health managers and all
the related parties in order to ensure the successful realization of the 1st
International Medical Service Congress which is planned to be held in Antalya
on 24 – 26 November 2011 and to achieve the intended benefit.

The 1st International Home Health Services
Congress which was carried out by the Ministry of Health under the Health
Transformation Program was held on 8-9 April 2011 in Antalya.

With the support of the Ministry of Health,
Home Health Services Association and Healthy Generations Association were
carried out congress and various institutions and organizations, public
hospitals, private hospitals, home care units, local governments and non-governmental
organizations were attended to it.

Our association
was established for contributing to the formation and development of a healthy
generation. Physically and spiritually healthy generation makes a country as
strong. The basis of a healthy generation is thrown in the mother’s womb, it continues
in the family, develops in society, rivets with education. Our one of prior aims
is to educate community, especially mothers, about public health, safe
motherhood, and maternal and child health. In addition, another goal is to
remove young people from all negativity, break bad habits and create a
qualified and educated workforce. Furthermore, we purpose to seek solutions to
the health and social problems of the elderly, who have contributed to the
development of healthy generations with their experience.

It is among our
objectives to carry out services related to the care of the elderly. To
contribute to people, who are in health community education, by supporting them
with scholarships and scientific activities during the training is one of our
most important goals. Finally, because it is important that the health system
of the country should be high quality, profitable and accessible for healthy
generations, it is our duty to make suggestions and research in this field.
